Some lawmakers say a tax on legal marijuana could put significant dollars into budgets still hurting from the recession, Politico reported Thursday.

bud during a public consumption of marijuana rally on December 6, 2012
in Seattle. Despite the new law's ban on public marijuana use which is
subject to a fine of about $50. In November, Washington state jumped
into history becoming the first state along with Colorado to reject
federal drug-control policy and legalize recreational marijuana use

"I've seen some estimates in the high tens of millions, as much as $100 million for" Colorado, whose voters legalized recreational marijuana use, said Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo., who's pushing for federal legalization of marijuana in Congress.

If the projections are correct, Colorado could make "substantial dent in needed school improvements, particularly in poorer districts," Polis said.

Dale Gieringer, director of California National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, said legalizing marijuana would bring in at least $1.2 billion to his state. Politico said Gieringer's study assumes a traditional sales tax plus an additional $50 levy per ounce of marijuana.

Skeptics' comments, however, are more sobering, Politico said.

"This is not a cash cow that can solve anyone's fiscal problems," said Harvard economics professor Jeffrey Miron, a pro-legalization scholar at the Cato Institute.

Miron said Gieringer's numbers were about three times what they should be.

"There is a lot of exaggeration about how big the revenue can be," Miron said.

Miron estimated a nationwide legalization that taxed marijuana similarly to alcohol and tobacco would net about $6.4 billion in new tax revenue -- $4.3 billion for the federal government and $2.1 billion for the states.

Toddler mauled by 7 dogs, The child who had slipped outside through a doggie door was mauled to death by her family's seven dogs in the backyard while the attack went unnoticed by the child's mother and other relatives inside their home, a southeast Georgia sheriff said Thursday.

Bryan County Sheriff Clyde Smith said the child's grandmother told investigators she was lying in bed when she heard the pit bulls and pit bull mixes barking, and she looked outside her window to see them dragging the girl. Smith said she began yelling, "They're killing Monica!"

It was too late. Monica Renee Laminack, who would have turned 2 on June 1, was dead by the time an ambulance arrived Wednesday evening. Animal control officers used drugs to euthanize the dogs at the home on a rural road in tiny Ellabell, about 30 miles west of Savannah. Deputies found the girl's shoes, diaper and shredded clothing scattered across the fenced-in yard, Smith said.

"They had dragged the child all over the yard. ... They tore her clothes all up," Smith said.

The toddler lived in a modest, two-story house tucked away from the main road. The sheriff said four generations of the same family shared the home, including the child's 18-year-old mother, grandparents and two uncles who are still young boys.

The girl's grandmother, Michelle McIntyre, sat weeping on the tailgate of a pickup outside the home Thursday. Summer Laminack, the child's mother, sat next to her staring silently at the ground.

"She's in shock," Barbara Brauda, a friend who was visiting the family, told The Associated Press before a man approached and asked a reporter to leave the property. "She hasn't been doing a whole lot of crying because she's still numb."

The sheriff said at least three adult relatives were inside the home when the dogs killed the girl outside. No criminal charges had been filed Thursday. Smith said he expects charges will be brought after he's had a chance to discuss the case with the district attorney and the girl's family has been given time to hold her funeral.

"I can see child neglect at the very minimum," Smith said.

Relatives told investigators the dogs that mauled the child were essentially family pets — a mother dog and six offspring from a litter she had about 16 months ago, the sheriff said.

The dogs had their own doggie doors that let them come in and out of the house as they pleased. The family told deputies the dogs had never attacked a person, though one of them might have killed a cat, Smith said. He said relatives insisted the toddler would play with the dogs and even "use them as pillows while watching TV."

Smith said the dogs looked healthy and well-fed, and investigators found no signs they were being used as fighting dogs by their owners.

"They said they have never been aggressive to other people," he said. "Why they got started I have no idea."

Meanwhile,
Gwyneth Paltrow paid tribute to the fitness guru in an interview with

good body. I was bony up top and kind of dumpy on the bottom.'But my trainer, Tracy Anderson, completely changed my legs, butt, arms and stomach. I feel better than ever, too.'When
Tracy met me, she said that I had a long, square butt that she was
going to redesign, and I was, like, "Yeah? Good luck. The amazing thing
is, she was right.'

At
the height of its success, The Tracy Anderson Method DVD was shifting
around 1,000 copies a week, with the programme advising participants to
exercise for two hours every day, six days a week, and adhere to a
strict diet plan. But the trainer found herself at
the centre of controversy in August 2012 when she commented that many
women use pregnancy as 'an excuse to let their bodies go'.She
later apologised for the remarks on Good Morning America, saying: 'I am
so mortified, it sounds so bad when it comes back like that. It's not
what I meant.'

It's every night for two and a half weeks. 'We're going to have to be well behaved. We won't be able to go to the bar, we'll have to rest our voices!'We've
had the best time. I'm not going to lie, going into it I was nervous
because I thought what if we don't have the chemistry that we had when
we were kids? But literally the first day back to work together was back
to business and we all slotted back into our old funny ways... Loud and
hyperactive.'Natasha added: 'I
mean, I just love working, working defines me. I love being a mum and
being at home with my kids but I feel really inspired when I'm working

have to be really careful, we have to have more checks. One in three
people will end up with some form of cancer, it's a lot of people. And
we need awareness and that's what Macmillan gives.'

New tunes: Natasha has admitted she's been thrilled with the response and getting back on stage

Speaking of her own Really Good Night In, she added: 'I'm

been so busy with the girls and working so it will be a nice night for
us all. It's just close family and friends this time. I wish I could
invite my Big Reunion family but we all live miles away from each other.
We should do another night and get them to donate as well.The

She's known for being a hands-on mother to her son Justin Bieber.But even Pattie Mallette doesn't quite know what to make of her 19-year-old son's recent erratic behaviour.'Him being 19, you know, I've just gotta let go a little and let him
make some of his own decisions,' the 37-year-old told Access Hollywood Live. 'He's growing up. He's 19.
He's not my baby.'Scroll down for video

Turned to faith: Justin Bieber's mother Patti
Mallette admitted during an E! News interview on Wednesday that she has
turned to her faith as she tries to make sense of her son's recent
erratic behaviour

Unaware: The 37-year-old said she found out about his recent assault charge on the internet

Patti, who brought Justin up as a
single mother, made the comments while promoting her new short film
Crescendo, which she produced. She
admitted that she has turned to her faith as she tries to make sense of
her son's actions, which include allegedly assaulting his California
neighbour.'Of course I pray for him and I encourage him,' she later told E! News. 'I can't really speak to how he handles that part of
his life.'Despite
she and her son's famously close relationship, Patti hinted she plays
less of a prominent role in his life than she once did.'Sometimes
I learn about things on the internet the same as everybody else,' she
said, referring to the assault incident. 'And that was the case this
time.'Patti's comments come a day after her son was accused of spitting in his neighbour's face during an altercation.The
neighbour - a 47-year-old successful businessman and father of three -
is said to have asked Justin on Tuesday to slow down his driving in the
quiet neighbourhood in Calabasas, California, leading to Justin
responding with foul language. Apparently
he said, 'Get the f**k out of here. I'm gonna f**king kill you,' at the
same time projecting saliva onto the man's face.

relationship, Patti admitted during the interview that she sometimes
learns about his antic via the internet

Under investigation: Justin has been accused of
assaulting his neighbour in Calabasas, California after the man asked
him to slow down in driving in the exclusive neighbourhood

Meanwhile, Justin has blamed his recent behaviour on youthful mishaps. 'The biggest misconception about me is that I'm a bad person,' Bieber told US Weekly on Wednesday. 'I get upset about that. I have a big heart. I want to be a good
role model, but some people want me to fail.'

'I'm
young and I make
mistakes. That's part of growing up,' he said, referring to when he
walked shirtless in London as well as when he wore a gas mask. 'I mess
up sometimes.
It's part of growing up.'

Justin also hinted that he wants a
break from the spotlight, admitting he isn't sure what his next career
move should be since wrapping up his latest tour in Europe earlier this
month.'I'm thinking about
my next album, next tour. Or maybe I'll take a break. I'm figuring it
out. Isn't that what you're supposed to do at 19?'

Taking a step back: Justin, pictured in London
earlier this month, has hinted that he wants to take a break from the
spotlight since wrapping up his latest tour in Europe

Justin has been in hot water quite a lot in recent times. Earlier
this year a security guard filed a lawsuit against the Beauty And The
Beat singer claiming not only did he owe him $420,000 in unpaid wages
but that the singer repetitively struck him.In
October Los Angeles prosecutors declined to file charges against Bieber
after finding insufficient evidence that he punched and kicked a
photographer outside a movie theater near his home a month earlier.Justin was also caught on film earlier this month while in London losing his cool and threatening a photographer.The
5ft7in star had to held back as he rushed photographers yelling: 'What
the f**k you say? What did you say? I'll f**king beat the f**k out of
you, man!'As for what's ahead, the star told Us Weekly: 'I'm thinking about my next album, next tour.
Or maybe I'll take a break,' he said. 'I'm figuring it out. Isn't that
what you're supposed to do at 19?'

Take it from me: Christina Aguilera, meanwhile, has urged Justin to take time out to recharge himself

Justin was recently urged to take some time off to recharge by former child star Christina Aguilera.'You
live life and it's hard to grow up in front of a camera. You learn as
you get older to take moments for yourself, step away from the camera,
re-inspire yourself as an artist, rejuvenate and refresh,' said the
32-year-old singer.'I
would tell [Justin], don't let anything morph you or push you around or
have you be something you're not. I've always been really honest and
true to my own roots and been really grounded, not letting myself stray
too much.'Meanwhile Jon M.
Chu, who directed Justin's Never Say Never documentary, insisted the
youngster is fine and just 'figuring stuff out'.'I
love the kid. The kid's a good guy. He's amazingly talented. And he's
growing up. He's figuring his stuff out,' said the director.'I
think it's good to keep him in check in everything he does. I know he
takes that as well and grows as a human being. But yeah, I think he's a
good kid and he'll continue to be a good kid.'

There's no denying that Kelly Brook has a number of discernible talents.But
it doesn't seem that dancing is top of the list, as she showed off a
few cringe-worthy moves in a behind-the-scenes video from her New Look
Spring Summer 2013 shoot.The model vamped it up in
the short black and white film, posing for the camera in a series of
staged scenes in between her photo shoot for the new collection.

The film starts with the Celebrity Juice team
captain poking her head out from behind a palm tree while on location in
Miami, giving her best sultry pose.

She
then heads into a beach bar where she's handed a refreshing drink in a
large coconut, taking a sip through the straw while looking at the
camera.The star wears clothes from the high street
store's collection, looking stylish in a number of retro, Americana
outfits, twirling around to show them off.

on her own in front of the camera, spinning herself around.Instead
of showing off her prowess on the dance floor, the 33-year-old seemed a
little awkward as she does a little shoulder shrug.She's
then filmed walking down the street in a plunging black playsuit, being
snapped by photographs as she struts along, flicking her hair.

She had removed her $250,000 engagement ring for her trip to Rwanda where she was acting as an UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador.And
while it appeared that she had taken the ring off for her official
duties, many speculated that perhaps she and fiance Brad Pitt had
already secretly tied the knot. But the
37-year-old actress set the record straight when she touched down at LAX
airport on Wednesday following her trip to the Congo.

Setting
the record straight: Angelina Jolie confirmed that she and fiance Brad
Pitt had not secretly married as she touched down in Los Angeles on
Wednesday

When asked by TMZif her ring was in fact a wedding ring, she flatly answered 'no' as she climbed into her awaiting chauffeured car. Smiling
as she headed out of the terminals at LAX airport, the Oscar-winning
star would have looked like any other traveller if it wasn't for her
famous good looks.

Sparking
rumours: Speculation ran rife that the couple had wed when she wore
this gold band on her wedding finger for her trip to Rwanda

She had travelled comfortably on the trip home wearing a billowing black maxi dress paired with an oversized blazer. She
also strutted along in the same black loafers she had been wearing for
several days as well as the same simple pieces of gold jewellery around
her neck and on her wrists. With barely any make-up on her flawless complexion, she shielded her eyes with one of her pairs of trusty Aviator sunglasses. Angelina was in the African country of Rwanda for several days.

She had removed her $250,000 bling for the trip and wore a gold band in it's place.

Her original expensive ring in question features an oblong-shaped rock which is inset into a thick ribbed band.Brad
designed the ring for the mother of his six children in collaboration
with jeweller Robert Procop who broke the news of the engagement in a
statement last year.

He said: 'Brad had a specific vision for this
ring, which he realised over a year-long collaboration with Robert,'
Procop’s team said in a statement.'He wanted every aspect of it to be perfect.'

The
Hollywood power couple later confirmed their engagement in a statement -
and their six children were said to be especially happy about the news.

In good spirits: It appears that Angelina was looking forward to being reunited with her family

Their spokeswoman said: 'It is a promise for the future and their kids are very happy. There's no date set at this time.'Procop
said: 'Brad had a specific vision for this ring, which he realised over
a yearlong collaboration. He wanted every aspect of it to be perfect,
so I was able to locate a diamond of the finest quality and cut it to an
exact custom size and shape to suite Angelina's hand.He continued: 'Brad was always heavily involved, overseeing every aspect of the creative design evolution.

Flawless:
With barely any make-up on her flawless complexion, she shielded her
eyes with one of her pairs of trusty Aviator sunglasses

'The side diamonds are specially cut to encircle her finger. Each diamond is of the highest gem quality.'Experts estimate the ring cost around $250,000.On
Sunday during her trip to the Congo, the actress was seen in a
reflective mood as she laid wreaths at the Gisozi genocide memorial in
the Rwandan capital of Kigali.

Super bling: Brad Pitt gave Angelina her $250,000 engagement ring last year

Family affair: Brad and Angelina out with their brood in London back in December

The star was joined by UK Foreign Secretary William Hague in her capacity as UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador.The
ceremony took place close to the 19th anniversary of the country's 1994
genocide in which an estimated 800,000 victims died as a result of
tribal violence between Hutus and Tutsis.With her
light brown hair loose around her shoulders, the actress wore a black
suit and top, again with minimal make-up teamed a simple gold necklace
for the ceremony.

For her trip, Angelina was not wearing her extravagant $250,000 engagement ring from her fiancé Brad Pitt.The star was spotted without her bling as she arrived first in Rwanda and also paid a visit to the Democratic Republic of Congo.Instead The Girl Interrupted star wore a more modest gold band on her wedding finger.While
there is no news that the couple have in fact already tied the knot, it
appeared that Angelina had merely exchanged the jewellery for her
official UN work duties.

Back to black: The actress sported a black jacket over a black top and a simple gold necklace for her visit

According to USA Today, Angelina was in the African country acting as a representative for the UN's refugee agency. Hague and the star met with survivors of rape and sexual violence, which is frequent in the country.Their trip to central Africa was aimed at forcing the Group of Eight world powers to address the issue more seriously.Hague
said he would be making the issue his priority when he hosts the annual
meeting of G8 foreign ministers next month in London.

Secretary William Hague as they listen to refugees during a visit to he
Nzolo refugee camp on Monday

'This visit is about
hearing first hand from people who have endured rape and sexual violence
during the conflict in the eastern DRC,' Angelina said.'We
want to learn the lessons that their experience holds for how the world
can protect thousands of women, men and children at risk of rape in
many other conflict zones.'And we want to persuade governments around the world to give this issue the attention it deserves.'Unless
the world acts, we will always be reacting to atrocities, treating
survivors rather than preventing rape in the first place.'Angelina
and Mr Hague are calling on the G8 to agree that rape and sexual
violence constitute breaches of the Geneva Conventions governing
warfare.They also want a new international protocol on the documentation and investigation of the issue.

Swapping
rings: Angelina has been spotted wearing a less expensive version of
her wedding ring during her recent trip to the Democratic Republic of
Congo and Rwanda

'More often than not the
international community looks away, the perpetrators of these brutal
crimes walk free and the cycle of injustice and conflict is repeated. We
have to shatter this culture of impunity,' Hague said.'It
is time for real, meaningful action by the governments of the world to
say that the use of rape as a weapon of war is unacceptable, to bring
perpetrators to justice and to lift the stigma from survivors.'This is my personal priority for the meeting of G8 foreign ministers.'The campaign will also be taken to the UN Security Council in June and the UN General Assembly in September.Discussions on solutions to the conflict with political leaders are also set to take place.

Just in case his adoring fans weren't in love with him enough,
Tom Daley has just succeeded in increasing his likeability factor
tenfold.

The Olympic diver made his
Twitter followers swoon as he posted an adorable picture of the new
addition to his family on the site - a micro pig.

Tom, 18, can be seen cradling the tiny animal in his arms as he smiles widely at the camera - clearly thrilled with his new pet.

The cutest: Tom Daley has shared a picture of himself and his new micro-pig called Robby-Ray

Even though the pint-sized athlete is small himself, the minute pig is dwarfed in his arms.

Along with the photograph of the pig Tom added the caption: 'My pig is called Robby-Ray for those asking :D'.

The piglet would have cost Tom somewhere in the region of £200, and will grow to anything between 16in and 22 inches in height.But
Tom isn't the only celebrity fan of the tiny animals. Other stars
thought to have splashed out on the pets to add to their families
include Paris Hilton and reportedly David and Victoria Beckham.

The sweetest: Tom also took in a small kitten that he wants his twitter followers to name

'They're easier to house train than a cat. They're incredibly intelligent.'

She added: 'People have got to know that micro pigs are not fashion accessories.

'I
can't bear it when people say, "I want one with more spots" or "I don't
like the black ones". Those people don't get one at all.'

Adorable animals: Tom could start a farm if he gets any more cute animals in at his house

Robby-Ray is not the first animal that Daley has taken into his home as he recently acquired a pet kitten.

His feline friend is a girl and Tom asked his followers on Twitter to come up with a good name for the adorable pet.Meanwhile,
the diving champion's now-famous Team GB swimming trunks have gone on
display at the Museum Of London from Thursday onwards as part of a
London 2012 exhibition.
